Realization

 

By order of Angels of love

I read the words written

On a fast track to long ago

A boy with me was love smitten

 

As I read on

It sounds so familiar

His memories reflect those of my own

So unlikely similar

 

For I once lived on the East Coast

In a small town such as he

Oh, dear God in Heaven

How can this be?

 

Could this really be him?

The boy I sadly left behind

That the Angels of love

Have led me to find

 

He told me he’d love me forever

So many years since I left

I never imagined his heart

So poetically deft

 

Why would he remember me

Instead of moving on

Must be a million other girls

For him would be the one

 

It doesn’t make sense

I thought he’d forget me long ago

But the words I now read

A different story shows

 

So sweet the letter he wrote to me

Confessing his love so true

We were only kids

Two young kids in school

 

Dare I to realize

To him, the one I left without good-bye

That he would still after all this time

Still love me, I can’t imagine why

 

But he did confess his heart so true

So very long ago

I believe he’s a man of his word

By way of his words that show
